From @edolstra at [1]: BTW we probably should take the closure of the whole unit rather than just the exec commands, to handle things like Environment variables. With this commit, there is now a "fullUnit" option, which can be enabled to include the full closure of the service unit into the chroot. However, I did not enable this by default, because I do disagree here and *especially* things like environment variables or environment files shouldn't be in the closure of the chroot. For example if you have something like: { pkgs, ... }: { systemd.services.foobar = { serviceConfig.EnvironmentFile = ${pkgs.writeText "secrets" '' user=admin password=abcdefg ''; }; } We really do not want the *file* to end up in the chroot, but rather just the environment variables to be exported. Another thing is that this makes it less predictable what actually will end up in the chroot, because we have a "globalEnvironment" option that will get merged in as well, so users adding stuff to that option will also make it available in confined units. I also added a big fat warning about that in the description of the fullUnit option. [1]: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/57519#issuecomment-472855704 Signed-off-by: aszlig <aszlig@nix.build> |

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-18.09
for the latest
release and nixos-unstable
for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master
.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/
folder.
